Broadband connectivity will play a vital role in India’s economic growth by improving access to education, healthcare, and government services. Under the Bharatnet project, high-speed internet will be provided to all government secondary schools and primary health centers (PHCs) in rural areas, ensuring that even remote communities can benefit. In education, students will be able to access online resources, and teachers will have better tools for professional development.
In healthcare, broadband will enhance telemedicine services, providing better access to medical advice and diagnostics. It will also promote digital literacy, preparing a skilled workforce for the expanding digital economy. The expanded broadband infrastructure will bridge the urban-rural divide, create job opportunities, and foster inclusive development, driving India’s overall economic progress in the years to come.
